Hey guys welcome

[Exar_Kun]

at 6'3 extrapolating from myself at 6.1 your ideal weight is between 190 and 200
thats 20 or so lbs of weight loss for you

Wut?
Ideal? What exactly does 'ideal' mean? The man should work till he likes what he sees in the mirror. Everyone has different body types and body structure.
Admittedly, individuals not looking to gain muscle would probably do well to be following general BMI guidelines (your 190-200 would put him around 23-25 I'd guess on BMI). But anyone with serious training ambitions shouldn't look at those figures and think that's where they need to be aiming imo. They should look a lot higher if they're trying to look like they work out.
Personally I'm around 5'8" or 5'9", weigh 173 and as far as I'm concerned I would still rank myself as bone thin despite having a BMI at around 26.

Im aiming at 190 actually. Once I reach tehre I wanna go for toning. And I know P90x wont work for me cuz lik Rage I am lazy and stuff like that aint gonna cut it.

Gonna check Crunch and Millennium on saturday maybe. But for now, I'll go for a 6laps around Eddie Hart.

[TriniXaeno]

5' 8", 173 and bone thin? lol

how? You have adamantium claws hidden in your structure?

the bmi works across physiques. Models, Fighters, Weight Lifters.

Sure it gets throwed off a bit if a woman has extra large boobs, an oversized butt or if a guy is top heavy. Its not perfect but its a damn good guide.

I eh know why he fighting the BMI
and de man did say he looking to lose the extra weight, about 20 lbs, which would drop him soldily in his ideal weight on the BMI index.
Ek if yuh know yuh eh have de discipline for the whole p90x, then cool big yourself in ah gym but throwing in the structure of the p90x when you can do it, will bring you really quick results.

well i dunno what work for y'all but changing me diet first led to allot of weight loss for me, coupled with my own lil regiment i dropped allot of weight, max i weighed in at 200 i just under 5' 8" i come in at just under 155 now

for me...

no soft drink...i drink pear drax yesterday and i feel like i get insta diabetus
no snacks/snaking...i fking love biscrem....how that taste again...
no simple carb/high starch foods...white rice/flour/potatoes
no processed meats...anything that come in a vaccume seal pack, there are exceptions but they usually to expensive to consider unless you REAL wanna lose weight
no fast food...at all...i not kidding, to give an example, i eat 1 doubles the other day and i feel like i over eat
no alcohol...if you a regular drinker (1-2 a day) cut that shit out to only when you liming with crew

i fking LOVE coffee so i couldn't cut that out, i just took less sugar and put a little less when brewing, i figure if i kept at least one indulgence it would make it easier, i was right.

drink water where you would any other beverage, or tea, not no choca-vanilla-whachamawhoit-from moondoes i mean green or lipton

beaking up meals into 5-6 smaller ones will help, eating enough just not to feel hungry theory is you build up and keep your metabolism, not sure how true it is but it seems to help

exercise-wise i start with

10 push ups
10 lunges per leg
10 twist per love handle, thats right chubby, i know you has them, they hard as fk to get rid of
10 jumping jacks

google how to do those properly, you would be shocked the diff properly doing them will make, and they harder than they sound

rinse and repeat for no less than 3 reps every other day if you miss a day, add on a rep to the next day

did those until i could do em without sweating or feeling sore/tired then added on a rep, eventually i worked up to 20 pushups 20 lunges 40 twist 20 jacks at about 5 reps every other day

end result

NO MORE MOOBS/TRUFFLE SHUFFLE AND PPL DOH RECOGNIZED ME (stretch marks however...)

i shit you not


btw...any tips on how to quit smoking...

I don't agree. It generally works fine for people who don't do any serious weight training and it could work I suppose for women who do serious weight training. But any guy that has any kind of real muscle is going to throw BMI out of whack immediately, easily clocking over 25 and possibly even clocking over 30 (obese lol?)



Anyway to help with the actual problem at hand, try this:

Just follow the instructions properly so you don't kill yourself or something (srs).

I just noticed this thread, and funny enough, after 3 years of not being in a gym, i've only started back last week.

I'm about 5'8", but i weight about 120 lbs.
I used to be in gym about 3 years ago, and i started putting on some decent muscle mass, but i had gotten sick (vomitting for an entire week) and in one week i lost most of it.

But now in 2010, i finally have the time as i'm not doing any summer courses or certificates, and i've started back at the gym. I'm really enjoying my work out regime of gym 4 times a week.
But my concern is, should i start taking supplements? As of right now, i'm not any anything besides good eating habits, and i stay away from carbonated soft drinks, i mostly drink water really.
As well, should i buy into the whole whey powder, and protein powder thing?

Any advice?

[Exar_Kun]

Yes, and no.
Yes because it will definitely help, and no because until you're sure that you're back you might as well not go all in. While you might think you're back and definitely have the motivation and whatnot, until you're at it for at least a few months it's still just something new to your life.

Remember that supplements are just that, supplements. Your regular diet should be doing most of the heavy lifting. I would suggest not wasting money on protein powder until you're sure that this is going to be a regular thing in your life for several years.
Until then you'll be fine drinking some chocolate milk immediately after your workout and eating a proper meal 1-2 hours after.

[Crixx_Creww]

God.. i cant honestly Fathom what its like to be 120 lbs...
i was that weight at like 11
how alyuh men does like... exist?

[TriniXaeno]

yeah, the bad thing about spending all that money on supplements and working out at the gym, is that all the gains can be lost in a fraction of the time you spent putting them on.

it really sucks but that's the reality.

lol @ truffle shuffles. hahhahah

more lol @ 10 push ups.

I hover around 40 right now. Wanna get serious and push that up to 50 in the next couple of months.

sticking with these programs is a real chore. I keep slacking off as other priorities take center stage (damn you battlefield!)
